Yes. Looks like there isn't going to be an easy fix to this. However, this problem is not just specific to FreeBSD. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D264557 for a description, and a list of similar bugs affecting other platforms. There is a potential workaround in one of the bugs. Try shutting down Firefox, then edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/prefs.js, and add the following line: user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar", true); Then restart Firefox, and see if you can reproduce the crash.
